Very well-put, Jules (as usual!).

I also have some reservations about employment discrimination. Should employers really be required to overlook trans people's propensity for disruptive behavior? What if they don't want to hire someone who'll be bugging everyone about pronouns, demanding "validation", making female coworkers afraid to use the restroom, and having meltdowns? Shouldn't they be free to restrict their workplace to those who will, you know, actually do their damn job? I sure wouldn't want one of these raging narcissists around! And that seems to account for an awful lot of trans people. It often seems to me that you should really only hire them if your business is endless pronoun-circles and obsession with gender. Otherwise, the people who work for you have better things to do.

Omg they are totally great coworkers who don’t tell sexually explicit jokes at work and talk about how much they suffer over the mildest inconveniences. Or hide in the back and not talk to customers saying “my social battery is drained”
